Municipal Dewatering Systems

These are very challenging times for wastewater treatment plant operators.  Operating budgets necessitate doing more with less.  Increasingly stringent regulations require more sophisticated treatment processes while the experienced technicians you need to operate them can be difficult to find and retain.  Many municipalities have successfully improved their operations while simultaneously reducing operating costs by upgrading those plant processes offering the greatest potential ROI.  Recent innovations in decanter centrifuges make sludge treatment one of the most promising areas.

Centrisys has over 1,000 dewatering/separation centrifuge systems installed in municipal and industrial plants around the world.  Our centrifuges deliver the driest cake possible at the lowest HP per GPM of flow of any decanter on the market, which results in more savings for you year after year.  Centrisys centrifuges are totally enclosed and controlled by sophisticated variable frequency drives that can be monitored from your control room via the SCADA.  Our customers have reported significant annual cost reductions.

  • 96% reduction in fuel consumption while maintaining 24% cake solids
  • 33% reduction in polymer consumption

It’s not unusual for our municipal customers to save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in energy and polymer costs that go right to the bottom line.

Centrisys sludge dewatering and thickening systems come in a range of sizes to accommodate flow rates of 5 to 500 GPM.  We can deliver complete palletized systems to your plant and have them up and running in as little as 1 to 4 hours from the time they arrive on your site.  Or you can service multiple locations with Centrisys trailer mounted systems.  Moving a trailer mounted system between plants can provide the short-term flexibility you need to immediately improve your process until your longer-term plans can be implemented.
